Turkish Airlines has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for flying to the most countries by any airline, a distinction it has held since 2012. The national flag carrier was presented with the prestigious record certificate at a ceremony held at Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, following its inaugural flight to Chile last month.
With this official recognition, Turkish Airlines has been awarded the Guinness World Records title for ‘Most Countries Flown to by an Airline’. The airline achieved this remarkable feat with flights to 120 countries, a figure that reflects its active routes over the past 12 months.
However, Turkish Airlines’ network spans even further. When including temporarily suspended routes and its new service to Chile, the airline now operates flights to an impressive total of 131 countries. This extensive reach highlights Turkish Airlines’ position as a global leader in international aviation.
For over a decade, Turkish Airlines has consistently held the title of the airline flying to the most countries in the world. This accomplishment underscores the airline’s commitment to expanding its global footprint and fostering international connectivity. By providing service to a vast array of destinations, Turkish Airlines plays a crucial role in linking diverse regions of the world, helping to bridge cultural divides and facilitate economic exchange.
Bilal Ekşi, the CEO of Turkish Airlines, expressed his pride in the achievement. “We are delighted to be in Santiago, Chile, our newest route, and to receive the Guinness World Records title for the Most Countries Flown to by an Airline. As the only airline to hold this distinction for over a decade, we proudly showcase the strength of our flight network and reinforce our mission to connect people, cultures, and destinations around the globe,” Ekşi stated.
Turkish Airlines’ global network not only allows it to maintain its standing as the most internationally connected airline but also strengthens its mission of uniting people and cultures. With its expansive reach, Turkish Airlines has become a crucial part of global air travel, offering passengers a broad range of destinations to explore and experience.
The airline’s global operations are a testament to its continuous growth, dedication to service, and ambitious vision for the future of international air travel.
As Turkish Airlines continues to expand its routes, including the addition of Chile to its network, it remains focused on enhancing its customer experience and sustaining its leadership in the global aviation industry. With new destinations on the horizon, the airline’s ongoing success reflects its ongoing commitment to offering an unmatched level of connectivity and service to passengers worldwide.
The Guinness World Records title further solidifies Turkish Airlines’ place as a dominant force in global aviation, cementing its role as the bridge between cultures and connecting travelers to the farthest reaches of the globe.
